Using a mini SD card (Optional Accessory)

Only mini SD cards are supported.
Turning the power off / ejecting the mini SD card during the memory operation such as formatting, deleting, recording, and
playback may damage the data.
You may modify the name of a file / folder stored in the mini SD card using a PC. Miniket Photo may not recognise modified
files.
It is recommended that you power off before inserting or ejecting the mini SD card to avoid losing data.

It is not guaranteed that you may use a memory card formatted on other devices. Be sure to format your mini SD card using

the Miniket Photo.
Save important files separately on other media, such as floppy disk, hard disk, or CD.
You have to format newly-purchased mini SD cards, mini SD cards with data on it that Miniket Photo cannot recognise or the
cards that have data saved by other Miniket Photos.

A mini SD card has a certain life span. If you use it for a long time, you cannot record new data. In this case, you have to

purchase a new mini SD card.

A mini SD card is a precision electronic equipment. Do not bend it, drop it, or cause it to suffer a strong impact.

Do not use or store in a place that has high temperature and humidity or dusty environment.
Do not allow foreign substances on the mini SD card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.
It is recommended to use a mini SD card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity.
After a period of use, the mini SD card may get warm. This is normal, not a malfunction.
Damaged data may not be recovered, and SAMSUNG is not responsible for the lost data. Make sure to back up important
files separately on a PC.
